Transwomen are men. Women are Adult Human Females. Any other claim is an ideological, faith-based assertion. The WI is an organisation for women. Any decision about inviting men (how ever they identify, sex does not change) into the organisation should be made by the members after extensive, open, consultation.

This should be debated and put to the vote.

Stop making women's organizations coed! Trans can build their own organizations.

Women's Institutes need to be able to discuss and defend women-specific issues. This is impossible if they have to include men, however these men identify. Those who respect women will understand this.

Keep the WI for WOMEN only, the clue is in the name. Not for men whatever they imagine they are.

I have already written to the West Yorkshire WI about this but have not received a reply.

I support this petition although I am a trans woman. I think that the current trans activist movement that are forcing organisations such as the WI to adopt blanket "inclusion" policies such as this are not acting in the best interests of women or trans people. Should I ever wish to join the WI I would rather be judged on individual merit, not because the WI thought it had to. Good luck!

This is common sense and not transphobia, please listen to women’s concerns.

I had always planned to join as soon as I finished work. Now that time has come and instead I have to spend my time battling for women's rights - a fight I already took part in for many years.

Trans-identified men aren't women. They are men. And the vast majority retain their male genitalia.

Important to have clarity in actions
